Capricornia Motel: Excellent Location and Good Value

The Capricornia Motel is a nice option in Darwin. I stayed there in Aug 2010 and my clean, comfortable room with air conditioning and ensuite bath was 110 AUD. It is a very short walk to the beach (~500 m), and just a short way on the Coastal Walk trail to the Darwin Ski Club (~925 m), and the adjacent Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (~975 m). The Botanical Garden (~925 m), and the Fannie Bay Gaol Museum (~725 m) are also within walking distance, although in opposite directions on East Point Road. It is ~700m east on Gregory Street to the Parap Village Shopping Center with its five restaurants and Saturday market. A computer with free internet is available in the reception area.

Batchelor Motel: Motel near Litchfield

This was quite a nice place to stay and I probably would have enjoyed it more if I had not been by myself. Beds were nice and soft and the meal (Barramundi and chips) in the restaurant was excellent.

There were pokies connected to the bar but when I was there no internet OR mobile phone access.

Unique Quality: Apparently, hotel staff feed the native birds at 5.45pm and 7.30am each day. It would have been interesting to see but unfortunately I left before the early morning feed.

Shady Glen Caravan Park: Darwin Caravan Park

Shady Glen is located about 10mins from Darwin City Centre. There is a bus stop located next to the park. There are Cabins, powered & unpowered sites. We stayed in a one Bedroom Cabin which was very nice. The park was very shady, something you need in Darwin, there is a swimming pool, (much appreciated) very clean amenities, laundry, campers kitchen, outdoor area, bbqs, shop & info, and phone boxes outside. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here, and would stay at this park again.

Orchids at Nightcliff: The Best b&b in Darwin!

If you enjoy b&b's, then Orchids at Nightcliff is for you!
Angela & Richard sure know how to look after you. They are warm & friendly but still respect your privacy.
The accommodation is extremely clean & comfortable & breakky devine!!
I highly recommend this accommodation, not only because it is cheaper than the usual accommodation in Darwin, but because of the friendly, personalised atmosphere.

Bush camping: Sleep under the Stars

I would experience a great sleep in the bush.
So I choose a nice welcoming tree and just lying down on a confortable branch.
My sleep was good but short due to an endless VT party in the surroundings ;-)
Just be careful when waking up, do not fall down from your bed...

Unique Quality:
Having a starry ceiling during my overnight stay was quite unique!

Orchids at Nightcliff: Get Away From It All!!!

A group of 5 VTers took over this small B&B for a few nights during the Darwin VT Meet of May 2008.

The B&B comprises a one-bedroom apartment and a one-bedroom guest room. This accommodation can accommodate up to 8 people.

The one-bedroom apartment comprises a ground floor kitchenette with fridge, microwave, kettle and general crockery and cutlery, a living room area with fold-out double settee/bed, an upstairs bedroom with a double and a single bed, a showeroom and upstairs balcony area.

The guest room has a double and single bed with en suite showeroom.

Angela is your delightful host who will assist you with all the local information and each morning prepares either a continental breakfast of cereals, yoghurts, fresh fruit and toast or a cooked breakfast.

Situated in Darwin's northern suburb of Nightcliff, this B&B takes you away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre but keeps both Darwin city and Casuarina shopping mall easily accessible by bus route 4 which is just a couple of minutes walk away to the nearest bus stop.

Locally, Nightcliff provides a shopping mall with Woolworths supermarket, restaurants, post office, local shops, internet cafe and library.

Facilities include pool, barbecue, arbour with loveseat and beautiful outdoor seating area.

Unique Quality: Angela provides that special one-to-one contact with her guests, and yet remains curiously out of sight most of the time! She makes your stay at Orchids at Nightcliff very special with her outgoing personality and knowledge of local amenities.

Thanks to Ann (Aussirose) for arranging my stay here!

Many, many, many: Backpackers

As I was admiring the CBD view from my Saville Suite Apartment balcony I noticed three backpackers accommodation within throwing distance so I thought I'd add this as a tip.

Although I haven't stayed at any of these, they seemed very busy with backpackers from all over the world. I've heard that Chilli's is one of the more popular.

There are heaps of backpackers around Darwin so it's best you do some due diligence on the internet.
